It's so great to be back here, Wednesday, October 6th, talking fantasy football with the people. Jason Moore, present accounted for. Oh, yeah. Mike Wright. Hello. Now, Mike, you recently had a new haircut. It received some notoriety. It was a great haircut. And then it's two days in. You're back in a half. What happened today? The shower. What are you doing? Okay. I'm doing fantastic.
The timing of the shower was a little bit earlier yesterday. Did the workout when I got home and then showered after that. So just no shower this morning. Yeah, it was not this morning. And it was, I don't know. The timing didn't work out. Also, I have this huge gigantic forehead.
Oh. No amount of haircut could get rid of that. So just every few days you feel I need to cover it. Every once in a while I catch it and I'm like, ooh. Like you have a hat? We gotta do something about that. We gotta cover that up. Not today. I'm gonna put you on black. What did you just call it? A six head. Oh. Oh, yeah. No, I've heard five head, but six head is. Where you're at now? Yeah, it's a little. Is that like a nose? Does it grow over time? Your forehead? I guess it does with the hair. Yeah, because the hair goes back. Yeah. Yeah.
Hair goes back and the ears get bigger. Well, I'm glad you're here. Oh, I'm glad to be here. I want to give a shout out. We haven't kind of, you know, there's a lot of hype around the Meglabel because it's the Meglabel. And we're four weeks in. And I figured it'd be nice to shout out the Hossie rock stars who are 4-0 and have a Meglabel high.
of 680.42 points that is the most in all of the Meglabel, which is, how many people are in that? 15,000 plus. Somewhere around there. I don't remember. It's a lot. So for all of you megal bowlers out there. How many points? 680. Oh, are you checking your team? Yeah. And let me just give you a point of reference here. In my Megalobole league, I am.
in first place and have the most points scored in the league. And I have 482. Wow. So his team is the mega list is so far. But this is a long season and I'm going to call it now. I would take the field. I did hear he just lost David Mopportunity.
Oh, bro. So that's going to hurt. A couple of housekeeping things. We have Spotify Green Room this afternoon. Yeah. If you aren't familiar with that, we do a live episode. We hang out. We talk to the listeners in the room. We bring them up on stage. We talk what's going on in fantasy and answer some questions. You can get the Green Room app. It's a live audio app from Spotify. It's free. It's good vibes in there, man.
It's fun. It's a good time. No one has to see your forehead. Oh, yeah, that's the best part. You unbutton the top button. You know what I mean? Of my forehead? No. No, I'm, I was moving on. Like, you know, your shirt. Relax. This is a very buttoned up show is what you're saying. Exactly. And that's, this is like a tuxedo show. And that one is like a tuxedo shirt show. Right. Yeah, so that's today. 3 p.m. Pacific, 6 p.m. Eastern.
We're doing it all season long, and it's free. And you just want to get in the room early because it does cap out and fill up. It's the room where it happened. Yeah. That's a good time. Twitter at the FF Ballers, if you want to follow us, Mike at FFF Hitman, Jason at Jason FFL. I'm at Andy Holloway and the community of incredible humans over at jointhefoot.com. You'll get a bonus show. You get access to a bunch of premium tools, all the premium discord channels. And I think.
We can move forward. Buy or sell, presented by pristine auction. Did you actually, is your streak over, Mike of just being absolutely on fire? Yeah, I only got one. Well, that's a shame. Mike and I were one apart and we thought we were really going to separate from each other last week. We both went one of three. All right. I wasn't here for that episode. So I went zero for zero. Oh, for three. Yeah. Jonathan Taylor.
It was the one that you did hit last week. Mike could call on JTT. Yeah, imagine not betting on a running back against Miami Beach Dolphins right now. Yeah, wow. I told you the season's over. They're done. For the dolphins? Yeah, it's over. Week five, sorry, Dolphins fans. Yeah. Week five buyer sell. Oh, boy. Damien Harris at Houston has a top 24 running back. I don't know if you guys saw this.
But there were, I think, six people that received carries, six players that received carries for the Patriots last week. They combined for eight total carries for negative one total yards. That was the rushing game for the Patriots against Tampa. That's going to boost those Tampa numbers. This week, Damien Harris takes on a different opponent. It's the Houston Texans, and I am buying a top 24 week from Damien Harris. Honestly.
Probably my favorite DFS pick of the week. Price to value. I think it's a bounce back week for him. Tons of opportunities. Mike? Oh, I'm buying this. It's the Houston Texans. It's the Patriots. Anything can happen with this running game. Anything can happen with this team as they're apparently releasing or trading last seconds Gilmore, which is, that's wild stuff going on up there in New England. But.
This is the moment that Damien Harris has been preparing for his entire life. I don't know about that. Oh, yeah, no, this is it. Going in as a heavy favorite should see, should easily see 12 plus carries.
goal line opportunities. I'm buying Harris. Yeah, the Houston Texans are awful as a team. They're not that. They're middle of the pack when it comes to fantasy points given up to the running back position. And that's including, you know, losing 40 to nothing last week. It's a really good line. But I guess I will buy as well. I was tempted if you both bought to sell. But the reality is the first two weeks, Damien Harris was in the top 24. Now he does. Top 20. Ooh. Okay. Changes to top 20. Will you sell that?
I'll sell. Okay. All right. So now we got some differentiation. Sure. Are Mike, are you still buying a top 20? Yeah, I'll still buy. Yeah, I will too. By the way, only 14 opportunities for Harris over the last two weeks. And to be honest, while this is a great matchup, not my favorite type of player to deal with in fantasy football. 26 opportunities in week one against that defense that you just talked about where Jonathan Taylor exploited them. He still only ended up just inside the top 24. So. Yeah, but he hit a Honda. I know. But I'm just saying, like if the...
If everything goes right, you tell me Damien Harris gets 26 opportunities against the bad defense, and he can barely climb into the top 24. That's not my favorite type of player. I understand, but he hit 100 yards. That was Matt Jones' first game in the NFL. He's trending the wrong way. I would trade him after this week. Harris? Oh, yeah. I don't mind that, but I'm saying that Mac Jones is improving, and this team is the Houston Texans, man. Woof. Not good. They released Anthony Miller today.
Did you see that, Jason? I did see that, which was surprising because they don't have a lot of good wide receivers. And he was fine. And they traded a fifth for him. Yeah. I mean, it's just a well-run franchise, so you can't question them. Like, what is there to gain? It's so strange. The absence of Anthony Miller. I guess. Calvin Ridley, buy or sell, 100 receiving yards against the New York Jets. This one is an easy sell for me.
Look, on paper, you go, well, it's the Jets, they're easy. It's Calvin Ridley, who's been, you know, he is still great. He hasn't been catching his long passes. Those will come. And so I won't be surprised if he gets it, but I will not project it. The Jets are right now third. Third.
best against wide receivers. That's not because they're great. It's because they are so horrendous against the run. And I think that Arthur Smith is going to want to establish it. And he's going to be able to this week. So I'm going to take the under on a hundred yard line for Calvin Ridley. Yeah, I mean, the odds are against me, but I'll buy it as the first 100 yard game for Calvin Ridley this week. This year. Sorry, this year and this week. It's also true. But, you know, the Jets, they obviously played a depleted.
wide receiver core with Tennessee. And I think that establishing the run with Mike Davis and Cordero may be a little bit more difficult than Derek Henry. So I think Ridley will do it this week and finally redeem that draft value for a week. I'm going to buy it as well. You had, you still saw 13 targets and seven receptions this past week, but an abysmal 54% catch rate for Calvin Ridley. I had mentioned on, I think it was Monday show,
Ridley was very, very close to an absolute monster game. So I'm going to call for the breakout against the Jets. By herself Terry McLaurant against New Orleans as a top 15 wide receiver. He's going to face Latimore in week one. He was wide receiver 57. Then he was wide receiver 3. Then he was wide receiver 45. Then he's wide receiver 4. What are you guys doing? I'm going to wait on this one.
I'll hop in first again. I hope he is great. It was when it started the week last week, love him. He can beat Marshawn Latimore, but the combination of Heineckee and Latimore, I'm going to sell this line. It's very difficult. The combination of the defense and his quarterback. Yes, I'm saying that I don't, Curtis Samuel is a second option he has at the wide receiver position to go to if Marshawn Latimore is.
draped all over Tara McLuhan. The nice thing is we've seen Tara McLaurin thrown to by Heineke without separation necessarily. Right. But I'm going to sell here. Mike? Oh, man. 15's a tough line. It is. 15, you need that touch. You have to have a touchdown. So it's like the probability of a touchdown every weekly is just so low. I will.
